# How do I run, pause, edit or cancel a task?

Open a task from the Tasks page to run it now, pause or resume it, edit its details and schedule, or cancel it.

These steps are for the web app. You can also ask Bluedeer in a chat to pause, change or cancel a task.

## Open a task

Click **Tasks** in the sidebar, then click the task. The task page has two tabs: **Overview** and **Results & history**.

## Actions

The buttons you see depend on the task's status:

- **Run now** starts a run straight away.
- **Pause** stops the task running on its schedule. **Resume** starts it again on the saved schedule.
- **Edit** opens the **Edit task** window.
- **Cancel task** stops the task for good.

## Edit a task

In **Edit task** you can change:

- **Name** and **Instructions**
- **Time zone**
- the schedule: **Once** with a **Run at** time, **Cron** with a **Cron expression**, or **Interval** with **Every (seconds)** and **Starting from**
- **Completion notifications**: **Always**, **On change** or **Never**
- **Notify on failure**, a switch that turns failure notices on or off
- **Tool calls per run (optional)**. Leave it blank to use your plan's limit.

## Cancel a task

Click **Cancel task**. The **Cancel** dialog explains that the task stops running and cannot be resumed. Click **Cancel task** to confirm, or **Keep task** to go back. The task's results and history stay available after it is cancelled.
